Even if you are using a Math curriculum that you are super satisfied with you might discover that your student needs a bit of additional help on a particular concept. No fear, you are not alone. This very thing happened to us. A+ Interactive Math Mini Courses to the rescue.

The opportunity for us to try A+ Interactive Math was the perfect time to add supplemental support to the areas we needed to bridge the learning gap and even add a different approach to how we were learning that particular concept. Sometimes just experiencing a different approach to the concept is all the child needs to “get it!”

That’s what we did. We added a new approach to the multiplication and measurement concept. Just a simple change in pace may be all your child needs to grasp it. Something new and fresh!

These Math Mini Courses were perfect for bridging that gap and introducing a new fresh way to learn the areas our child was struggling in.

A Brief Overview

As mentioned above, there are 20 different Math Mini Courses to choose from. Choose one, a few, or all of them. You have online access to those paid courses for one year. There is a (separate log in) dashboard for both you, the parent/teacher, and the student.

In The Parent/Teacher Dashboard:

Parent/Teacher Controls

Get Started (Tutorial)

Basically, your child watches a video lesson online, after the video lesson it will prompt him/her to an Interactive Review (Q&A). Then, if the child feels ready, they can generate the Online Worksheet for the section of the chapter they just learned. Once they feel confident that they have mastered the concept they can generate a test. The system keeps track of all scores and information for both the student and the parent/teacher to view.

How We Used the Online Mini Courses

My very first piece of advice would to be to familiarize yourself with the parent/teacher dashboard first. It helps to read the “Get Started” tutorial. This will give you a better idea of how this program works. After you have done so, I suggest that you go over the student dashboard with your child. Guiding them to the how’s and what’s to do to make their lessons run smooth. We needed to do this a few times.

After they can fully navigate their dashboard they are off and running.

As mentioned above, we used the Elementary and Middle School Multiplication Mini Course and the Measurements and Conversions Mini Course.

The one thing that both my daughter and I really appreciated was that we were not forced to stick to lessons by order. For instance: the Introduction to Multiplication was a lesson that we could easily skip because she already had a full understanding of the “why’s” and had already been introduced to multiplication. By not having to complete each lesson in order before we were able to move on we were able to jump straight to the areas that she needed help in. This really cut down on the unnecessary seat time and boredom.

Another neat feature is the adorable emoji’s that pop up during the Interactive Review. If you have turned on a tablet, phone, or computer in the last few years you know that emoji’s are everywhere. The ones that pop up when answering the question correct made our daughter smile because they were so adorable. I understand that this isn’t an important aspect to this program but making my child smile during a math lesson is something that I am happy to see.
